PREFACE 



This work was originally prepared for the use of those attending the 
Lectures on the Materia Medica, in the Homoeopathic Medical College of 
Pennsylvania, and at their request. 

It contains the characteristic and most prominent special symptoms of 
the best proved and most used of our Medicines. 

The distinction of symptoms, as the result of provings on the healthy 
(pathogenetic,) or as the result of clinical observations on the sick (cura- 
tive,) or as belonging to both these classes, has not been retained in this 
work. Such distinctions belong exclusively to the complete Materia 
Medica, the study of which the present Text-book is intended to facilitate, 
not to supersede. And to a more thorough and satisfactory study and 
knowledge of Materia Medica than has been general of late years, it is 
sincerely hoped that this book may prove both an introduction and a 



guide. 



So great is the multiplicity of symptoms, the result of provings, clinical 
corroborations and observations, with which our growing Materia Medica 
is overladen, that it seems little less than an impossibility to obtain a clear? 
discriminating view of each separate remedy. 

The efforts previously made to overcome this difficulty, by abridging 
the Materia Medica, have proved but failures. Nor was it possible for 
them to have resulted otherwise, since they did not exhibit the essentially 
characteristic symptoms of the different medicines. They were attempts 
at mechanical sifting, weeding out, made without proper comprehension of 
the subject; which disappointed those who referred to them, and led them 
to demand a differently prepared and more reliable guide. 

It is with the greatest reluctance that I have yielded to the requests of 
my professional friends and of those whom I have the pleasure of instruct- 
ing, and endeavored to meet this demand. As only those who have un- 
dertaken such a work can truly realize its arduous nature, so no one can 
be more thoroughly conscious of its imperfections than is the author 
himself. 



IV PREFACE. 

Those who have mastered the Materia Medica, the author is well aware, 
may be acquainted with characteristic symptoms unknown to him or over- 
looked by him; and he will thankfully receive and acknowledge such 
supplementary, characteristic and especial symptoms, for incorporation in 
the present work. 

In presenting this Text-book to his colleagues, the author relies as well 
upon the intelligence as upon the charity of those most conversant with 
the subject;, since while they will undoubtedly notice many omissions and 
much room for improvement, they will, at the same time, appreciate the 
formidable nature of the task which he has been induced to undertake. 

The method and object of the work are different from those of any 
before published on the Homoeopathic Materia Medica; but its arrange- 
ment is simple, varying but little from that originally adopted by Hahne- 
man. 

The first symptoms given are those of the mind, followed by those of 
the different parts of the body, beginning with the head, — which also in- 
cludes giddiness, — and concluding with the feet. Then come the generali- 
ties, comprising the symptoms relating to the Nervous Systems and to the 
Circulation; these belonging to Sleep, Fever and the Skin; and finally, 
the most prominent conditions of Aggravation and Amelioration, from time, 
place and circumstance. 

The usefulness of this book can only be determined by the practical 
test, to which it is respectfully submitted by 

THE AUTHOR.

EREATA. 

Page 60. " Asarum Europaeum " instead of " europ. " 

Page 87. " Bisinuthum " should be page 78. 

Page 163 should he " Coccus Cacti," instead of " Coccionella Septernpunc- 
tat a," which was a palpable error.
